OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV

May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I especially like it from the Message translation

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.

May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Comment by Lilly(JG Corpsman) on September 15, 2010 at 9:05pm: HarmonyWorks, I think you need to go by yourself and spend some time w/your SR.....Just a suggestion....I think it will be WORTH IT!

Comment by Mom3 on September 15, 2010 at 8:58pm: yeah Jamielyn. I was a little worried. I did find it strange how someone could know that! What div is your husband in?
Vickie-I am sorry your son (and you) has to endure such behavior in boot camp. I pray your son hangs in there. They are on the down hill slide. He may need to go to chapel and talk to someone? Perhaps get some encouragement?

Comment by liongirl3502(ship10Div331) on September 15, 2010 at 8:52pm: Harmony we are almost neighbors I live in the San Luis Valley in San Luis and we will board Amtrack in Trinidad since it's only a little over an hours drive versus the airport in Denver or Alb which is 4 hours away. I'm taking my 15 year old and it only costs $120.00 round trip for kids 2-15 if they are smaller it might even be free.

Comment by liongirl3502(ship10Div331) on September 15, 2010 at 8:44pm: Harmony,
We live in Colorado are you flying or driving to PIR? We are taking Amtrack just to do something differant.

Comment by HelenGJ on September 15, 2010 at 8:39pm: I thought that everyone had to live on base during any A school. Do I have that wrong?

Comment by PKMom on September 15, 2010 at 8:05pm: liongirl3502, my husband and i watch that program every week, although it's hard knowing my SR may be doing some of these 'things' in his navy spec ops training someday! They focus on a different service training every week.

Comment by MaribethP on September 15, 2010 at 8:03pm: Vicki ~ I am sorry to hear your son is having issues. There is absolutely NO excuses for grown adults to act this way! Why would anyone steal addresses? I got a letter today also from my son and he sounded great. He didn't mention having any problems at all. He is a pretty quiet person and I know if he knew if this was going on he would tell me as this type of behavior really bothers him. I am so sorry. He is almost done with this part and then he will be heading on the schooling and I know in my heart he will be okay! I will pray for him to have the strength to get through this!

Comment by jamielyn on September 15, 2010 at 7:59pm: I got letters from my husband today! Dated from 9/8 - 9/12! He is NOT a grad and go!!
-AKmom, my husband is a Nuke, so I guess not all Nukes are g&g!
Overall he sounds good in his letters. Said to get a flag their div needed to score a 4.0 on their test, they scored a 3.99, how frustrating!
One part of his letter I would like to quote: "So last night was definately the best night of sleep I've gotten since I've been here, I love that talking to you can make that happen" (that was written the day after he got to call me!) That made my heart melt :)
I'm in a very good mood now! I can't wait until 10/8 and finally get to be with him again!!!

Comment by liongirl3502(ship10Div331) on September 15, 2010 at 7:54pm: One of the other navy mom's iIknow said there is a T.V program on Discovery tonight on EOD @ 10 pm but it could be a differant time depending on where you live. It could be interesting.

Comment by Jana B on September 15, 2010 at 7:27pm: Vicki--my best to your son. Resend the addresses, and a card full of love. Tell him we are all with him!
